I prepare for an event by combining your vision or theme with prayer confident that we will
arrive at the message God wants delivered to His women. One of the greatest joy's I have
as a teacher, is waiting on God and delivering exactly what He lays on my heart to minister
to a specific group.  With that in mind, every message I deliver is different and tailor
written for a specific audience.  So although I have prepared messages, I love to write new
topics as the Lord provides.

My passion is to reach women with the life changing truths found in God's word.  I
appreciate that everyone learns differently and so my teachings are peppered with a mix of
humor, personal examples, poems, visual aides, and stories all woven through biblical
teaching and life application.

My hearts desire is for women to leave each event where I am teaching excited about what
they have learned, able to apply it their lives, and with a renewed hunger to study God's
word.  

Retreats & Conferences

All retreat topics consist of  four sessions depending upon the needs of the group. Each includes
Points to Ponder for small group discussion. Personal quiet time and journal exercises are also
provided upon request to encourage women to journey deeper with the Lord.

Under Construction
4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him— 5
you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering
spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
.1 Peter 2:4-5 (NIV)

and conforming us into the image of his son.

Blessed to Believe!
"And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been
spoken to her by the Lord."
Luke 1:45

Luke 1:45 tells us that we are blessed when we believe God.  I realize many of us believe in
God, but do we believe God?  Do we read the promises in His word and believe that they are
for us?  Can we in spite of our circumstances trust that God has a good plan for our lives?  Do
we believe that we are significant, loved, and secure in Christ? You can live a blessed life...be
encouraged as you walk by faith and not by sight.

designed with a specific purpose in mind.  We all have been gifted in order to accomplish that
purpose.  The question is are we living it...Are we living with confidence, passion and purpose
or are we just existing?  Journey back to creation as  explore God's high calling for women.  Be
inspired by the women in scripture and be ready to discover the Great Adventure God has in
store for those who love Him and seek to do His will.
